MANAUS, BRAZIL – OCTOBER 10, 2024 In the eastern part of the Brazilian city of Manaus, in the Ramal do Brasileirinho area, a man’s body showing brutal signs of torture was found on October 10, 2024. The victim’s body was discovered on a remote road in the Jorge Teixeira neighborhood, with hands and feet tied and dressed only in black pants.
